Steven Spielberg is completely Dune pilled
Steven Spielberg says Dune: Part Two is "one of the most brilliant science fiction films I have ever seen"
Who here is a Dunehead? Statistically there have to be a few of you, since Dune: Part Two is outperforming the first film and tracking for a $650 million global box office haul (via Deadline). Among those Dune devotees is the blockbuster king himself, Mr. Steven Spielberg, who told director Denis Villeneuve that he is, basically, a total stan. “You have made one of the most brilliant science fiction films I have ever seen,” Spielberg tells Villeneuve on The Director’s Cut—A DGA Podcast.
Spielberg proclaims it “an honor” to sit in conversation with Villeneuve, whom he compares to “filmmakers who are the builders of worlds” (per Deadline). For Spielberg that vaunted list includes Georges Méliès, Walt Disney, Stanley Kubrick, George Lucas, Ray Harryhausen, Federico Fellini, Tim Burton, Wes Anderson, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, and Guillermo del Toro. “The list goes on but it’s not that long of a list,” Speilberg claims, “and I deeply, fervently believe that you are one of its newest members.”
